240 Chice, Burn Bocai!

"Front-line battle report: Youzhou battlefield, the imperial court victory. Liu Bei's troops of the imperial court army and Cheng Zhiyuan of the Yellow Turban Army had a scuffle at the foot of Daxing Mountain. Guan Yu beheaded the Yellow Turban General Cheng Zhiyuan in the "chaotic" army. The Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and Deng Mao led the rest of his troops to flee to Guangzong, where they were killed by the peerless heroes. ”

"Frontline Report: ......"

......

Yingchuan, Changshe City.

In May 184 of the game calendar, after the announcement of the world's meritorious list, the hundreds of players at the top of the list attracted widespread attention, envy, questioning and discussion among players. After all, it's unimaginable that a single player-led unit can kill thousands or tens of thousands of NPC soldiers in the enemy camp.

Some players expressed their opinions sourly, "The imperial court is too unfair, and a military salary of 500 yuan is given to a small number of filial piety players." If I had so much money, I would have been in the top 10 of the rankings, and I would have done a better job than them. Although you can't compete for the first place, you can be ranked behind the little white boss to say the least. ”

"That's right, I strongly ask the imperial court to pay all players."

A few sensible voices drowned in the big waves of the forum. "This is strength, alas~....."

......

What ordinary players see is the glory on the merit list. However, for the nearly 10,000 imperial court players who are still sticking to Changshe City, they are suffering from extinction at the moment, and they don't have any heart and energy to celebrate the victory at all.

The reason is simple, they are almost out of force.

In the entire Changshe City, there are currently less than 50,000 NPC troops left. Among them, 30,000 are the NPC elite cavalry of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and the other 20,000 are the elite soldiers in the hands of the players.

The upper limit for recruiting NPC soldiers in Changshe City is 6,000 soldiers/day, but the consumption rate is as high as tens of thousands. In the month-long fierce war of attrition, the replenishment rate of the imperial court players in the city was far from keeping up with the attrition rate, and the troops gradually fell into exhaustion. Recruiting copper coins, grain and grass, arrows and other materials are all in an emergency. The main generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun mobilized all the inventory materials in the city and tried their best to support the overall situation.

In addition, due to the long-term war and the lack of stone maintenance, the durability of the walls of Chosha Castle gradually depleted, and it was damaged and collapsed to varying degrees. Even as long as the Yellow Turban Army organizes another powerful large-scale attack, the city of Changshe can fall.

However, the court players are not happy, and the yellow turban players are not much better, and their current situation is also embarrassing.

Although there are many villages that provide logistics for the Yellow Turban Army, there are too many Yellow Turban troops, and as early as half a month ago, there was a shortage of food and grass, and the supply could not be replenished. In the past month-long offensive at any cost, the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses and excessive attrition. This was followed by a sharp drop in the morale of the Yellow Turbans, with NPC Yellow Turban soldiers often refusing to obey military orders, and even a large number of deserters went to other areas in search of food.

In addition, the defenders of Changshe City are extremely tenacious, so that the NPC Yellow Turban Army and Yellow Turban players have no hope of breaking the city. The burden of the siege on them was already overwhelming. This not only shook the morale of the NPC troops, but even most of the Yellow Turban players lost confidence and no longer put their limited supplies into this bottomless pit battle.

The Yellow Turbans were unable to organize an effective large-scale attack, but in order to maintain their advantage in the war, they had to mobilize all the forces they could mobilize and continue to launch "riot" attacks, maintaining a fragile offensive and making it impossible for the defenders of the city to be repaired.

Zhan Xiaobai's figure always appears at dawn and sunrise, appearing at the main gate of the city tower. It wasn't until late at night that it disappeared.

After a month of war, there was not much time to trim the edges, and the beard was messy, which looked a bit vicissitudes. He was dressed in level 30 light armor, and there were cracks in spears, arrows, and broadswords everywhere, and he was covered with the white robe worn by the tooth keeper, which was broken, and a level 30 Qingfeng sword hung on his waist, the blade of which had already been blunt. Because there was no more competent weapon, he was too lazy to change it.

Once, he often had a certain temperament similar to Confucianism, with more benevolence and less murder. But a month of bloody battle gave him a precious opportunity to refine. A kind of sword faintly emanating from his body is in the sheath, and it will come out without a general murderous aura.

Murderous spirit is domineering, not king. But the murderous aura will come out but not out, hidden in the scabbard, half hidden and half "exposed", so this is a murderous aura with a restrained temperament.

A month has changed a lot for him.

However, the only thing that remains unchanged is the resolute light that always shines through his eyes.

The players who fought side by side with Zhan Xiaobai all felt a lot of pressure, which made them dare not slack off. However, they feel that this kind of pressure is normal.

Over the past month, Zhan Xiaobai has appeared on this city tower for three-quarters of the time, facing the Yellow Turban Army outside the city. Only a small amount of time at midnight will he retreat and seize the time to rest and recuperate.

In the first half of the month, the number of bows and arrows and light armor under his command gradually increased from the initial 80 to the peak of 300. However, in the brutal battle for the city in the second half of the month, the number of dead was reduced from 300 to less than 50 at present. Almost all of the remaining 50 NPC soldiers under his command are elite soldiers who have killed more than 100 enemies, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of newly recruited soldiers.

As long as Zhan Xiaobai's calm and delicate figure stood on the tower of the main gate, and when the tattered white robe fluttered in the city wind, few Yellow Turban players were willing to charge towards this section of the city tower, because they all knew that when Zhan Xiaobai appeared here, this was one of the hardest places in Changshe City. There are some Yellow Turban players who are not convinced, and they insist on charging here, but as a result, the head is broken and bleeding, and they can't pick up the slightest bargain.

Whether it is the players of the imperial court camp inside the city or the players of the yellow turban camp outside the city, they have unconsciously become accustomed to the white "color" standing there. It has become a symbol of "sex" that the players of the imperial court still firmly occupy the city of Changshe.

At the beginning of May, it is midsummer. In the evening, a strong wind blows.

The generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were worried in the county mansion in the city. How can it be that the war against the traitors has been protracted and deadlocked, and they are already very tired?

Zhu Jun walked around the hall and said heavily: "The spies asking for help have been sent out for more than ten days, and they should be in Luoyang." Imperial reinforcements, I don't know when they will arrive? If I don't come, I'm afraid that I'll wait for my "sexual" life to rest. ”

Huangfu Song tasted warm tea, with a little leisure, shook his head and smiled: "Brother Gongwei, we can't expect reinforcements to come to the rescue, we still need to find a way ourselves." The Yellow Turban anti-thieves committed "chaos", which was unpopular and a group of rabble. Although the thieves were brave, they had no experience in war, and when their morale was greatly defeated, they scattered like birds and beasts and sandstones. Now that we are in a stalemate, there is no need to rush. ”

Zhu Jun saw that Huangfu Song was still as worried as him in the morning, but now he looked idle and leisurely, and couldn't help but wonder: "Oh, does Yizhen really have a countermeasure?" ”

Huangfu Song put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "The victory or defeat of the battlefield does not lie in the number, but in the changes of the two sides. The thieves camped in the grassy areas of the suburbs, and were very vulnerable to strong winds and fires. Now that the weather is dry and windy, if we set fire to the camp overnight, the thieves will surely flee in confusion. We took the opportunity to send troops to attack, and we could do a great job of destroying the thief army. ”

"Yizhen is really a genius! Without further ado, act now. ”

Zhu Jun was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Huangfu Song and ran towards the city wall.

The two NPC Masters are fully clothed and carry a large group of NPC guards to the city wall to observe the sky and the situation outside the city. I saw that it was pitch black outside the city, and the wind was fierce, which was a good opportunity to set fire to the night attack!

Huangfu Song's confidence was lifted, and he shouted at the captains on the left and right: "Come on, immediately gather five hundred dead soldiers, carry torches and secretly go out of the city, and go to the enemy camp to set fire to the camp." An army of 30,000 was ready to attack the Yellow Turbans at night. ”

Several accompanying NPC captains immediately obeyed the order, gathered the dead soldiers in the army, and gathered 30,000 elite cavalry in the city to prepare for battle.

The movement of the NPC generals quickly alarmed the players who were holding on to the city. They whispered, no shortage of ridicule at the NPCs. If they could set fire to a night attack, why were they stupid here, wouldn't they have done it earlier?

Besides, if the Yellow Turban players were going to leave such a big loophole, they should have thrown themselves into the river en masse.

However, these court players have no intention of dissuading NPC generals. Because the NPC generals ignore the advice of those of their humble status. There's no need to hot your face to stick to the cold butts of the NPC generals, let the NPC generals burn it, just watch a lively scene.

On the city tower, Zhan Xiaobai, Warring States World, Blue Devil Tears and others also saw these in their eyes. Tonight, several of them from Liangzhou are responsible for guarding the safety of the Xicheng, because they are idle, they gather together to chat, so as not to be trapped.

Although Zhan Xiaobai's identity was already able to say a word or two to the NPC leader, he didn't say a word. The Warring States World and Blue Devil Tears also didn't say a word.

The NPC generals are obviously on the rise, if you dissuade them at this time, it is a small matter to touch the NPC masters, and if it turns out that the player's words are correct afterwards, in case the NPC generals feel humiliated, annoyed and angry, and they are angry and demoted to their official positions.

Not long after, a hundred NPC dead soldiers were ready, carrying torches quietly out of the city, disappearing into the dark suburbs outside the city, and suddenly there were screams of "ah" and "ah" in the distance, and after hundreds of sounds, the suburbs returned to silence. Not even a big wave was raised.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun changed their color at the same time for a while, looking at each other...... The Yellow Turban Lord Bo Cai, the true god man, could actually expect that they would set fire to the night attack and set up an ambush in advance. The enemy has been prepared for a long time, and it seems that this night attack will not succeed.

The two generals couldn't help but become pessimistic, and planned to give up the idea of night attacks and fire attacks, and reconsider the enemy's generals' adaptability.

The court players at the head of the city held back their laughter one by one, or whispered a sneer or two, or fell asleep boredly, ignoring the movements of the NPCs.

At the city tower, the Blue Devil Tears showed Xiaobai and the Warring States of the world, and said: "Xiaobai, Warring States, do you think the fire attack can succeed?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai said lightly: "There is not much chance. Unless the Yellow Turban players are all fools, or they have a lot of internal commotion, or they have set themselves on fire. Otherwise, there is no chance of success. ”

Warring States Tianxia also shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, the Yellow Turban players are too tightly defended, and we don't have a chance to start." Not to mention arson, it's hard to get out of the city. ”

Blue Devil Tears didn't agree with them, and snorted lightly: "In my opinion, the fire attack has a good chance of success, it depends on how to do it." Xiaobai, can't you talk to these two NPCs? Can we go over and talk to them now and see if we can take this opportunity to make meritorious contributions? ”

"Do you have an idea?"

"Yes, there's an idea. It depends on whether the NPC accepts it or not. But.... It's up to you to help you make a referral. ”

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a moment and nodded, this matter is related to the overall situation, he can't hide his secrets, if he can succeed in arson, it would be the best. He walked with the Blue Devil Tears, the Warring States Emperor Fu Song, and Zhu Jun, and walked over.

Not far from the second general, he was blocked by more than dozens of NPC guards, unable to get too close.

Zhan Xiaobai, Warring States World, and Blue Devil Tears were separated by more than 20 meters, and arched their hands: "Yamen General Xiaobai, Minister Warring States World, Qu Chang Blue Devil Tears, I have seen General Huangfu and General Zhu. ”

Zhu Jun ignored it.

Only Huangfu Song glanced back at them and found that it was Zhan Xiaobai, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, what's the matter?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "May I ask the two generals, do you want to take advantage of the strong wind to launch a night attack on the enemy camp?" ”

Huangfu Song said: "Not bad. ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Xiaguan has a friend who has an idea, but I don't know ....... ”

Huangfu Song glanced at the Blue Devil Tears next to Zhan Xiaobai and said, "Oh, let's talk about it." ”

Zhan Xiaobai signaled, and Blue Devil Tears immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "Two adults, Xia Guan recently saw the Yellow Turban thieves pulling weeds outside the city, and the weeds within a radius of five miles outside the city were pulled by his soldiers, I am afraid that it is to prevent our army's fire attack." In addition, they arranged at least five layers of isolation belts five miles outside the city, a large number of fire-fighting sand, stones, water, etc., and arranged at least 30,000 troops to defend day and night, so that our army could not attack at night. So ......"

Zhu Jun suddenly had a cold face and said, "Such an important military situation, why didn't you say it earlier?" As a result, our army died five hundred dead soldiers in vain. ”

The Blue Devil suddenly burst into tears, did he have a chance to speak? Even if he just said it, can you listen to it? It was his fault!

Zhan Xiaobai and the Warring States World also sneered, but they didn't expect the Blue Devil to be slammed into a big nail by Zhu Jun with a word. If you offend these NPC armies, don't lose your position on the spot.

Fortunately, Huangfu Song was a little reasonable, he waved his hand and said: "The military plane is important, so don't mention the past." What do you do about this youngster? ”

Blue Devil Tears immediately said: "Xiaguan does have a plan. The enemy was very strict against our troops, did not give our troops the slightest chance, and even uprooted the weeds within five miles of the city to prevent fire. However, judging by the junior generals, they can prevent the officers and soldiers of our city from launching a fire attack from the inside, but they cannot prevent our army from launching a fire attack from the outside. The enemy camp was too large, and most of them were stationed in dense grass to clear them all. If our army can attack from the outside, the enemy camp will be burned down, and the enemy army will be crushed in one fell swoop! ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun shook up at the same time, and this method may be successful.

Zhan Xiaobai secretly praised it, the idea of Blue Devil Tears is good.

In the historical plot, it was the Zhonglang general Huangfu Song who burned the Bocai army. Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, was the reinforcement, and cooperated with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to attack the Bocai army. But now, Huangfu Song's fire can't be lit. Then let the reinforcement Cao 'Cao' set this fire, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun cooperated, and it was okay.

Huangfu Song nodded solemnly, "Not bad." The enemy's internal defense is too tight, and it is difficult to get it, so it should be easier from the outside. But how can our army launch a fire attack from the outside? ”

The Blue Devil said with tears: "The task of burning the enemy camp must naturally be completed by our army's foreign reinforcements. ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other, they had already asked the imperial court for reinforcements, after so long, I think the reinforcements should be coming soon, just in time to set fire to the enemy camp from the outside.

Huangfu Song hesitated: "The reinforcements may not know about the arson of the Bocai army. In order for reinforcements to launch a fire attack, they must use the general's token to send orders. However, who can break out and carry the token to notify the reinforcements of the arson? "It's a big problem, and if it can't be solved, then it's not going to be a good idea.

Zhu Jun looked at the blue devil tears and said, "Since it was the idea of this young general, it must be sure to sneak out of the encirclement, so it is better for you to inform you, how about it?" ”

The Blue Devil was stunned in tears, and almost regretted slapping himself. Why don't you have such a bad idea, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself! Is it so easy for the encirclement of the Yellow Turban camp to break out?

Zhan Xiaobai and the Warring States World almost laughed in their stomachs, secretly glad that this idea was not their own.

The Blue Devil couldn't refuse, and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Huangfu Song praised: "Good! Uh, so be it. I'm going to post an instant task right away. [Inside and outside]: Carry a token, get in touch with reinforcements, and burn the enemy camp. Anyone who succeeds in breaking through will be rewarded with 100 bronze and 10 meritorious deeds. ”

This instant quest was immediately announced at the four towers. Although the rewards are very generous, the danger is extremely high, and the chance of success is never more than 1 in 10,000. In addition, it is night again, so there are not many court players in the city who sign up for the task.

With tears in his eyes, the Blue Devil took the mission, took the token, led a horse, and hundreds of adventurous players went out of the gates to the Yellow Turban camp outside the city - under the strong blockade of the Yellow Turban players, if nothing else, they had a 99.99% chance of being killed. Wealth and danger are sought, probably that's what it means.

Zhan Xiaobai and the Warring States World, seeing such a "miserable" end as Blue Devil Tears, did not dare to "mess up" with bad ideas, and hurriedly retired to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

It's a pity that Huangfu Song doesn't seem to have any intention of letting the two of them go.

Huangfu Song narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, and this young general, since the two of you came with that young general, you must also have your own strategy to destroy the enemy?" His gaze swept over Zhan Xiaobai.

Zhan Xiaobai was taken aback, he hadn't figured out how to deal with the Yellow Turban Army for a month. Now in this hurry, where did he have time to think of a countermeasure? He immediately politely "conceded" the opportunity to the Warring States World, and said: "Xiaguan, this Warring States brother has a hundred thousand strategies, so let's talk about it first." The lower officials listened first. ”

Huangfu Song's sharp eyes turned to look at the Warring States world.

The Warring States World almost trembled, damn, the hateful Xiaobai, he actually betrayed his friends like this at a critical time, no wonder they all said that friends were used to sell.

He didn't think of anything in advance, he was a little flustered, and thought urgently: "This...... In the opinion of the following officials, our army can build a super-large stone cart and "shoot" the fireball into the enemy's camp from a distance to launch a fire attack. ”

Huangfu Song shook his head, slightly disappointed, what kind of stone cart can bounce a fireball five miles away?

He turned to Zhan Xiaobai and asked, "Xiaobai, what is your good plan?" ”

The Warring States World suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and after a long time, he went back and settled the account with Zhan Xiaobai.

"This ..... There is no ..... in the lower officials" Zhan Xiaobai opened his mouth and was about to resign. Suddenly, seeing the swaying red paper lanterns on the city tower, an idea flashed through his mind, and said, "Wait, Xiaguan has a good plan." ”
